This is a personal art blog where I post drawings I make on a daily basis. I consider it as sort of an online journal serving as an archive for the growth of my skills as an illustrator. I'm not out here to gain an audience but if you're interested in following my art, that would be cool!

Sketching some scenery from my house

The drawing book I've been reading has given me some more tips on
drawing landscapes. It said that it's a good idea to draw the view
outside your window because it's usually the most convenient. So I did
but I didn't bother to draw my actual window, just the view outside even
though the example on the book showed the window included in the
drawing.

Later that afternoon, I wanted to do another landscape sketch so I took a picture of my backyard and went did a sketch of that.

I
didn't want to add in that much detail though. Just the basic shapes,
and some plants with leaves. It ended up being more one-point
perspective practice.
